The new Studio Display XDR features a mini-LED display with up to a 120Hz refresh rate, but you'll need a newer Mac to get support for the full 120Hz. According to Apple, Macs that have an M1, M1 Pro, M1 Max, M1 Ultra, M2, or M3 will only support the Studio Display XDR at 60Hz. All other featur es remain available. For the full 120Hz refresh rate, you'll need to have a Mac with one of the following chips: ‌M2‌ Pro, ‌M2‌ Max, ‌M2‌ Ultra M3 Pro, M3 Max, M3 Ultra M4 Pro, M4 Max M5, M5 Pro, M5 Max All Macs that have an Apple silicon chip can be used with the Studio Display XDR with the upcoming macOS Tahoe 26.3.1 update. As for the iPad, The M5 iPad Pro supports the Studio Display at 120Hz, but all other compatible ‌iPad‌ models are limited to 60Hz. Compatible iPads include the M4 ‌iPad Pro‌, the 3rd-6th generation 12.9-inch ‌iPad Pro‌, 1st-4th generation 11-inch ‌iPad Pro‌, the ‌M2‌, M3, and M4 iPad Air models, and the 5th-generation ‌iPad Air‌. For older Macs and iPads that don't support 120Hz, there is little reason to select the more expensive Studio Display XDR over the standard Studio Display. The Studio Display starts at $1,599, while the XDR model starts at $3,299. The Studio Display XDR will be available for pre-order tomorrow at 9:15 a.m. Eastern Time, with a launch to follow on March 11.Related Roundups: Apple Pro Display XDR, Apple Studio DisplayRelated Forum: Mac AccessoriesThis article, "These Macs Can't Run the Studio Display XDR at 120Hz" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums ...read more read less
